Following the resignation of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Dhananjay Munde, NCP-SCP MLA Rohit Pawar has called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the Beed sarpanch murder case. Pawar asserted that Munde’s name should be included as a co-accused in the FIR, given the allegations against his close associate, Valmik Karad.

Speaking to ANI, Pawar questioned Karad’s alleged financial dealings and influence in the case. "His (Dhananjay Munde's) name should be included as a co-accused in the FIR related to the Beed sarpanch murder. It is alleged that Valmik Karad, who is both an accused in the case and a close aide of Munde, has amassed property worth Rs 1,500 crore. His name was omitted from the FIR thus far because Munde held a ministerial position. However, now that he is no longer a minister, the authorities must act. A BJP MLA has stated that he has evidence suggesting an extortion meeting took place at Munde’s residence. If Munde is indeed the mastermind, then his name must be added to the FIR. A highly transparent investigation is necessary," Pawar told ANI.
